Card Ideas–Sketch Layouts

One of the things I get asked most is how I think up card designs, well I thought long and hard about this & to be honest I’m not really sure, they seam to pop into my head triggered by every day things.

Now that doesn’t help anyone that asked me so I thought a would do you some card sketch layouts as examples of what can work as card designs. I have a batch of 6 to start you off.

Three Trees

Three Trees by Just Inklined I love nature cards, so easy for so many occasions.

Coloured with Promarker and Flexarkers by Letraset sentiment is from Stampin Up set and the Embossed leaves are a sizzix embossing folder from the Fall set, the shiny leaf was stamped out of copper sheet and then heat applied to make it turn pretty colours, the time piece was from my stash.

Clean and Pretty

Sometimes it is nice t break away from the normal, so no backing papers and no ribbon bows for this one as I wanted to keep it clean and classy.

Roses in Bloom is a clear stamp set by Waltzing Mouse Stamps, Claire the owner is such a sweetheart that once you start with her little company you’ll be there for keeps, Claire also has an amazing design team and between them they create some jaw dropping projects.

I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder stylised flowers for the backing white card and a pretty row of ribbon roses with beads added to their centers, and a dainty dot on each corner, the image is stamped with Momento Ink then coloured with copic markers and I used a Go Kreate die to cut out the image.
